I am certainly a few months behind on blogging about sessions, but I hope to catch up soon! Here is part of my own son’s session.m I love photographing this session because most infants are not quite walking, but can stand with support. Most sessions run very smoothly because the babies are so excited to explore!

Class of 2013 Senior Portrait Scholarships available through Inspired Portrait Photography

Inspired Portrait Photography, North Mankato MN, is offering our annual scholarship contest: Senior Portrait Scholarships for two deserving high school seniors graduating with the Class of 2013. The Scholarships awarded will be valued at $250+ in portrait credit. Applications are being accepted now through May 1st, 2012. Winners will be announced on May 15th, 2012.  The information bellow describes the application process, the qualifications and the reason why Inspired Portrait Photography has chosen to give these portrait scholarships.
Class of 2013
School will be out soon and summer is right around the corner. This means different things for various students, but if you are an upcoming senior, it is time for your professional senior portraits to be taken.  Senior portraits are something that most students look forward to and start planning for years in advance.  Students wonder which photographer they will go to, what clothing they will wear, and what his/her final images may look like. For most students it is just a matter of choosing a studio and scheduling his/her appointment. Inspired Portrait Photography understands that some students don’t have the opportunity to simply make that choice. Our professional staff grew up understanding how our families lived on a tight budget. When it was time for our senior portraits, money was scarce, and we treasured the few senior portraits we could afford to have. Sherry made a promise she would one day give back to other deserving students that had the dream of enjoying senior portraits. There are a variety of reasons that can prevent seniors from being able to have the portraits they are dreaming of.  Because of the rising day to day living expenses, unforeseen circumstances, and various other hardships, many families are experiencing financial setbacks. Everyone deserves to feel the best they can feel through portraits. Our hope is that Inspired Portrait Photography can help our community one portrait at a time.  Our goal for the class of 2013 is that everyone has the chance to share with others through professional portraiture.
The two scholarship packages will include: the session fee for an indoor/outdoor session, one  wall portrait, various gift prints & wallets to share with friends and family. Applications are required to submit an essay (250 words or less) telling us why you (or the person you are nominating) deserves to receive one of the scholarships.  Awards may be based on either financial need or personal circumstances.  Applications are available at the studio, local high schools, by email at sherry@inspiredportrait.com or by calling 507.381.8007.
Please send the completed applications to the studio or drop them off during business hours (Monday-Friday 10 am to 6pm) for more information please contact Sherry Schultze or send email to sherry@inspiredportrait.com

I am a big softy for grandparents. Maybe it’s because 3 of mine passed years ago, or because I love to know about the history of how life used to be…slower. I can’t seem to find a single photo of my with any of my grandparents, although I am still looking. In the meantime, I give those images of grand children with their grandparents to you. please don’t hesitate to create these images.
